The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Dear Jordan,
I know that your first part of the trip is going to be beautiful México. You have to know that there are many differences between the US and México. The first and foremost difference that is renown is the whole world is that Mexican people are so friendly and always are happy to welcome visitors. You will always have a smile and goodwill to help you.
Regarding food, Mexican cuisine is renown by UNESCO as a world heritage. It is delicious and drastically change, depending on the region of the country you visit. Be careful, some food is spicy hot, but the flavors are so different and tasteful.
Finally, you have to be patient because in México there is not the strict order and discipline that you have here in the states. What I mean is that the attitude is more relaxed. It is not 1 +2=3. Not at all. In México there are many ways to do things, and there is enough room to be flexible. So do not get desperate if when you arrive at the airport in Mexico City, the scene looks chaotic. Everything is running smoothly, the Mexican way!
What is the question i can help you if you need :)
